| Good | Light, minor scratches or scuffs from normal use, none deep. No cracks or dents. Fully working. |
| Fair | Heavier scratches, scuffs, or a small dent, but no cracks in the glass or screen. Fully working. |
| Cracked screen | Cracked or chipped screen or back glass, but it still powers on and the touchscreen works. |
| Broken | Powers on but has a fault, a bad display, or a part not working (camera, buttons, Face ID). |
| Won't power on | Won't turn on or hold a charge. We still buy it for parts. |
At inspection
Common iPhone 7 Plus issues we check at inspection
- Screen issues (scratches, cracks, dead pixels). The 5.5-inch LCD screen is prone to scratches and cracks from drops. Dead pixels or discoloration can also occur with age.
- Battery health degradation. Original batteries typically fall below 80% capacity after 2-3 years of normal use, leading to shorter battery life.
- Home button/Touch ID failure. The physical home button, which also houses the Touch ID sensor, can become unresponsive or fail entirely due to wear and tear or liquid damage.
- Audio issues (speaker/microphone). Problems with the stereo speakers or the microphone can arise, affecting call quality or media playback.
- Charging port issues. The Lightning port can become loose, damaged, or clogged with debris, leading to unreliable charging or data transfer.
- Water damage indicators tripped. Despite the IP67 rating, liquid damage can occur, leading to various internal component failures. Sellers may not always disclose this.
